Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic PainMany women suffer from one of several conditions involving dysfunction of the pelvic floor—a group of supportive muscles at the base of the pelvis. One of the most common of these conditions is urinary incontinence —a tendency to urinate accidentally, that may also involve an urgent or frequent need to urinate. While Urinary Incontinence occurs in many women, it is never normal, even during the natural course of pregnancy and childbirth (including multiple vaginal deliveries), menopause, or aging. Many women also experience pelvic pain related to pelvic floor dysfunction, which may be the result of surgery, injury, labor and delivery, or sexual abuse. Women’s health physical therapy can provide a comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment program designed to address your symptoms and their underlying causes. This program may include: Pelvic floor muscle exercises that focus on muscle awareness, retraining, and coordination, with the aim of decreasing the frequency and/or severity of your urinary incontinence Manual therapy to address any misalignment and lack of muscle tone in your pelvic floor and the muscles surrounding it Patient education on pelvic floor function and self-management strategies, including bladder training to restore normal bladder function as well as relaxation techniques Therapeutic modalities to improve muscle tone in your pelvic floor, inhibit abnormal bladder contraction, and decrease pain Physical Therapy for Prenatal and Postpartum IssuesPhysical Therapy for Pre-Natal and Post-Partum Issues Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life.
